Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 355

Xiao Wenqing didn't care about waiting, and walked quickly to the front yard eagerly.The Hou Mansion held a wedding banquet today, but the guests were poisoned by food, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion was discredited.Although it is inconvenient for a woman to deal with men directly, she is the hostess of the Hou Mansion and must come forward to apologize to everyone.Nothing should happen to Xiaoxiao, Yuxuan and her lifeblood!
When Xiao Wenqing was rushing to the front yard, the ministers in the front yard who had experienced countless storms in the officialdom had completely controlled the situation.The guests with abdominal pain and vomiting were helped to rest in the room; the young master Xiaoxiao was young, and others were most worried that he would not be able to handle the poison. Nanny Zhao stuck her finger into his throat to induce vomiting while crying, and at the same time told someone to find the second son quickly The third son's nannies are here because human milk detoxifies.

Both human milk detoxification and mung bean detoxification are folk prescriptions, which are known to many people.Human milk is scarce, and there are so many officials today, officials who are not poisoned as a last resort are embarrassed to drink human milk.Liu Hanlin sent himself and other officials' servants to find the doctor and go to the kitchen to cook mung bean soup.The officials who were poisoned didn't seem particularly serious, so they drank a lot of water and then vomited out, and first performed gastric lavage.

Little Hou Ye Xiaoxiao didn't eat much at such a young age, and was forcefully induced to vomit by the nanny's finger deep in her throat, but she vomited out her stomach in convulsions. Although she is still suffering from abdominal pain, she is conscious.Because Crystal Agate lives in the Hou Mansion and has her own children to take care of, she can't be regarded as the full-time nanny of the second and third sons. They happen to be at the side of the Chuihua Gate. When they heard the news, they immediately put down the children to the front yard, and carried Xiaoxiao to the small house , breastfeed him to detoxify 'Because Xiaoxiao has been weaned, so nurse Zhao returned to breastfeeding, and now that Xiaoxiao has an accident, she has no milk to feed him'.

Rich people generally use silver chopsticks, jade chopsticks and ivory chopsticks for meals. Today, there are nearly [-] distinguished guests in the Hou Mansion, and it is impossible to use those expensive chopsticks, so they use red lacquer hot gold wooden chopsticks.Because of suspicion of poisoning, the people in the front yard took silver needles, silver chopsticks, and sterling silver hairpins to test all the dishes that had been served in the front yard one by one. And those poisoned guests, including the young master, all ate fried three ding.

Obviously, this is not food poisoning caused by dirty dishes, but deliberate poisoning.

When the accident occurred in the front yard of the officials, they had urgently notified the family members who were having a banquet in the back yard. The elderly ladies in the back yard immediately thought of testing for poison, and they used sterling silver ornaments to measure it, and then reported to the front yard. No one appeared in the back yard. Vomiting and abdominal pain, all dishes are normal.

People in the front yard recommended several officials from Dali Temple and several other officials with experience in investigating cases to investigate the case on the spot.The kitchen has been sealed off by the servants of the Hou Mansion, and all the chefs and helpers who are responsible for serving the dishes have to be pulled out individually for questioning.The [-] guards who stayed in the Hou's Mansion to be responsible for the security of the Hou's Mansion took all the guards and guards out to search all the outsiders in the mansion "except for officials and their family members for the time being".

There should be no problem with the chefs and helpers that the Hou Mansion has been using. The problem is basically the cooks and helpers hired by the Hou Mansion temporarily.The interim investigation officials repeatedly questioned those people.When Xiao Wenqing arrived, the guard of the Hou Mansion found the body of a helper in a small remote woodshed by the kitchen, but the restaurant where the helper was located said that this person was in charge of serving the dishes, as if he had seen him just now.

Several helpers who were in charge of serving the dishes together confirmed that this person was responsible for serving the six tables where the fried three ding was poisoned.

The case was very clear, either the person poisoned and then was murdered to silence him, or the person was killed before the banquet started, and someone pretended to serve him and waited for the opportunity to poison the dishes.

Marquis Dingbei was deeply favored by the emperor, his power gradually increased, and his status became higher and higher, which may have attracted the jealousy and hatred of villains.The villain took the opportunity to frame the Hou Mansion when a large number of outsiders came in and out of the Hou Mansion.

The murdered helper was a 21-year-old young waiter in the shop. His mouth was covered from behind and his neck was snapped.This method is vicious and skillful, and it has not alarmed others. Only fighters and killers who specialize in this line of work can do it!

A few officials who had experienced accidents exchanged glances, and they stopped talking more deeply with Mrs. Hou, a ladylike woman.This matter may involve a lot of people. They will go to the emperor in the afternoon and report the matter to him.

Xiao Wenqing waited for the Hou Mansion to be cleared of suspicion, walked to the middle and blessed all the guests deeply, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, sir, for washing away the grievances of the Hou Mansion, but this matter is due to the management of the Hou Mansion. I took advantage of the loophole and poisoned more than [-] adults, and the concubine is guilty of negligence, so I can only ask the adults to forgive me."

As she spoke, she tremblingly lifted the hem of her skirt to kneel down in public to apologize.Today, the Hou Mansion is full of distinguished guests, and now there is a collective poisoning. If there are any more casualties, it will definitely be a crime of murdering the court officials!
She was wearing a red dress today, and the red color supported her haggard and thin face, making her paler and paler.I heard that she almost collapsed during childbirth, and her body lost a lot of blood. The imperial doctor prescribed medicine for her to recuperate her body, but she still recovered slowly; the wife of the other family came out of confinement, all of them were rosy and plump, but she was so thin that a gust of wind could blow her down .

Since Lord Mo was transferred to the army, he has basically not been in the mansion. There are no elders in the manor, and all the affairs are spread on this lady alone. It is really not easy for her.

Someone did this on purpose. There are a large number of strangers entering and leaving your mansion today, so it is impossible to guard against; the affairs of your mansion are now managed by others, and it is not you who made the mistake: you are the second-ranking wife...

The sympathetic officials avoided one after another, saying that Mrs. Hou should not do this, and please go to rest later.

Since they are all men, no one can step forward and stop Xiao Wenqing from kneeling.Enduring the abdominal pain, Liu Hanlin ordered Yun Sanniang and Chunli to hold Mrs. Hou, don't let her kneel down, let her sit in the sedan chair and go back to the backyard.
